of vulgar tweet sent to straitstimes followers by mistake

Vulgar tweet sent to ST followers by mistake: "straitstimes.com staff mixed up his personal and corporate accounts"

A VULGAR message was accidentally sent out on the corporate Twitter account of The Straits Times yesterday.

The message, sent out at 12.15pm to more than 46,000 followers of @STcom on the social networking site, read: 'omg. f... you all. seriously.'

It was deleted within seconds.

Upon being alerted, Straits Times social media editor Ng Tze Yong immediately posted a tweet apologising on behalf of the staff member who had committed the blunder.

But the tweet had already gone viral within minutes, with hundreds of Twitter users re-posting the message.

The reactions were mostly of amusement, with some expressing sympathy

    When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a
    comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Appreciate it!

    This design is incredible! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to
    start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Great job.
    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that,
    how you presented it. Too cool!

    I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I
    never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth
    enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the
    internet will be much more useful than ever before.

    Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?

    I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one?
    Thanks a lot!
